DOZENS of vehicles were this morning observed occupying parking meter slots, but not a single one of them bore a payment receipt on the dashboard. Persons simply parked as per normal.

The Guyana Chronicle spoke with individuals who were parked in some of the vehicles and most of them said they were just going to remain stationed for a few minutes while other passengers went to run an errand.

Others said they had no idea where to obtain the prepaid parking cards, and yet others took advantage of the fact that Smart City Solutions (SCS) said they will not be carrying out any enforcement for a few days.

Complaining mostly on the streets this morning were taxi drivers who are adamant that they need to be granted some form of concession.
